  • Ok cool! I just worry when people think they can make money doing coffee.

    I’d personally not bother doing frothy coffees unless you can do it pretty well. It sounds like it’d be really nice baking off a bunch of stuff and having some batch filter and tea. You can also spend more time chatting to people instead of faffing around, setting up and cleaning down.

  • ^^^^^ that! ^^^^^
    Put a couple of different coffees in pair of Chemex and away you go. I really funky natural and and a green apple bright washed? Maybe if you’re feeling reckless an aeropress and warmed milk for that Café au lait vibe. I think the main thing is to do what ever you do well, offer people what you’d want to drink, what ever that is and not what the chains say they want. Don’t shoot me, but most people don’t really like espresso, you just have to see how much shit they put in it to hide its taste on the high street. Someone I know did ok at a couple of small venues without a machine in sight by selling a banging filter of Ethiopia Rocko Mountain Natural and nothing else other than the option for cold milk, but he also kept the sugar in a locked box and made such a fuss if somebody wanted it… maybe don’t do that bit.

  • Well it’s a super quiet village, so I’d expect to get virtually zero trade the few times, definitely not a money maker that’s for sure. But it’s a very under used space so anything is better than nothing.

    Might just use the classic as it ticks a lot of boxes.
